What signs tell you the offense will improve?
Just wondering if you see anything specific that backs up your statement.
This is an offense that can't protect it's QB and can't run worth a lick.
Defense is doing everything it can to keep them in this pathetic game.
I'm not a doom and gloomer but i can't see any positives at all on O.
Not 1 thing.
Hope they prove us wrong...Like you said we have a whole quarter.
Haley needs to put his best position players on O and open it up.
Enough with the 3 TE sets with backups.

I wish people would/could leave politics out of a Steelers Football Forum.

Yes, I'm watching the game via Sunday ticket. I couldn't get it to work on my lap top earlier. It's been bad but it's still very early in the season. We're still without Miller AND our running game can't catch a break. We need Bell to get healthy.

Just going on track record with Ben and the fact that we've had a couple bad breaks. Redman fumbling the ball being the biggie no matter whose fault it was that kept us out of the endzone. I 100% agree that haley needs to open it up. Unfotunately it's likely going to take Heath and Bell getting healthy to really turn the corner. Currently we still have a whole quarter before this game is over. My main issue is people claiming we're a 3 win team 3 quarters through week one. It's ridiculous.

Polamalu is looking ridiculous and the offense will improve. There is a WHOLE LOT of doom and gloom for the 3rd quarter down 8 points. Should the Seahawks be throwing in the towel this season because they are down to the Panthers?

When A team led by Blain Gilbert has just as many points as a team led by Ben then yes it's a long season.

Blaine Gabbert and I agree the offense has looked rough until JUST now when they decide to open it up despite the stalled drive. My main gripe is crying about it being a long season 3 quarters through game one of the damn season. It's a 16 game regular season for a reason. It's not Wildcard baseball.
